Neural control of motor prostheses.
Neural interfaces (NIs) for motor control have recently become increasingly advanced. This has been possible owing to substantial progress in our understanding of the cortical motor system as well as the development of appropriate decoding methods in both non-human primates and paralyzed patients. So far, neural interfaces have controlled mainly computer screens and robotic arms. An important a...
متن کاملNeural Decoding for Motor and Communication Prostheses
Neural prostheses, which are also termed brain–machine and brain–computer interfaces, offer the potential to substantially increase the quality of life for people suffering from motor disorders, including paralysis and amputation. Such devices translate electrical neural activity from the brain into control signals for guiding paralyzed upper limbs, prosthetic arms, and computer cursors. Severa...
متن کاملMoving minds: ethical aspects of neural motor prostheses.
Modern brain technology is a highly dynamic and innovative field of research with great potential for medical applications. Recent advances in recording neural signals from the brain by brain-machine interfacing presage new therapeutic options for paralyzed people by means of neural motor prostheses. This paper examines foreseeable ethical questions related to the research on brainmachine inter...
متن کاملNeural Prostheses
A neural prosthesis is a device that aims to restore or replace the functions of the nervous system that are lost to disease or injury. Examples include devices to improve hearing, vision, motor and cognitive functions. Neural prostheses artificially stimulate the nervous system to convey sensory information, activate paralysed muscles or modulate the excitability of neural circuits to improve ...
